ABSTRACT
The introduction chapter presents an overview of key concepts of preceding subsequent chapters. It also looks with some detail at the contributions, and finally sketch the shape and the consequences of the idea of pre-reflectivity as the structure of consciousness and inner framework of the mental. Pre-reflectivity disputes and gather some articles which are critical of Sartre's view of subjectivity, namely of his understanding of the cogito axiom and of pre-reflectivity as the core condition of mental states. The critique addresses to Brentano's conception of inner pre-reflectivity, as the basis of reflectivity, whether in the special case of the or others, is that it somehow misses a true disclosure of the secondary object about its own existence. It analyzes what taking the pour-soi as the foundation of consciousness amounts to. Finally, the chapter looks at pour-soi-en-soi-valeur relations and, thereby, at the question of freedom, focusing on humaine as self-determination.
